Knockavilla Community Council notes
With the long winter nights now on top of us, it is worth keeping in mind the importance of Community Alert. The importance of being vigilant in our community cannot be underestimated. Also, especially at this time of year it is important to regularly check in with our elderly neighbours to ensure they have sufficient fuel supplies, and that they can access the local shops for their food and medical supplies. It is also very important to be alert and take note of any vehicle registrations that may not be usual to an area. This way we can keep our community safe for the winter months.
Walkie Talkies walking group;
For anyone interested in walking in a group, the revival of this walking group may be of interest. Starting next Tuesday, November 15th and every Tuesday, this group will meet at 7.30pm sharp in the Coillte car park in Bishopswood to walk through the woods on a designated walk. All that is needed is a hi vis vest and a flashlight.
Badminton.
Badminton continues for the winter months in the Scout Centre Dundrumevery Monday and Thursday night until May. It’s a great way to have fun, meet new friends and keep fit at the same time. So come along on Monday and Thursday nights from 8pm. All are welcome.
